Paolo Garza, Associate professor

I have been an associate professor at the Dipartimento di Automatica e Informatica, Politecnico di Torino since December 2018. Before that, I spent three years as an assistant professor at Politecnico di Milano. I received my master’s and Ph.D. degrees in computer engineering from Politecnico di Torino.
I coauthored more than 100 papers in the areas of data mining and machine learning. My research interests are in the fields of data mining, database systems, and big data analytics.

Research Interests

Big Data, Data Mining, Associative Classification, Textual Data Summarization, Itemset Mining, Clustering.
